    Crap. I can't find a chinchilla breeder.

    I wonder if a ferret would do. They're quite pretty and amusing, when they're not biting you.

    *hastens to Ferrets R Us before all the cute ones sell out*

    Meh, just hope/assume your recipient won't know a chinchilla from a ferret and lie. :twisted: :lol:

    Good point.

    Also, I have to figure out... is it possible that in another country, ferrets are called something else? You know, like we say "alligator" and elsewhere they're "crocodiles" (yeah, I know they're sort of different, but to me they look the same and strike the same chord of terror). Or how here we say "bathroom" and in England they say "loo."

    I guess in the end, it's a weasel no matter what.

    Stoat maybe? or weasle? :?

    Might be able to help you with this one (easier to find than moose poo) though not sure if it would get to you in time for you to send to your person. Also, they are escape artists - might get out of the mailing box and run loose in the plane (better a chinchilla on a plane than snakes!).

    My person can rest assured - they will not get a snake or poo.

    No fear, I'll get a little sedative from the vet so the ferret will be comfortably numb for the journey to my recipient's home.

    Now, how to package up the zombie...

    that works out then! by the way, the Benny Hall vinyl doesn't have to be sealed. :D

    this may take awhile....i ordered multiple things that will come to my house, then i'm putting them all together to ship out!

    Yep, that's what I do - I'm about 1/8th of the way done. The hold up last year - took weeks to come - was the order from PJ goods.

    I like white gold better too. And large bills, no tens or twenties.

    this is my 3rd year, and I know I'll still be packing stuff until the very end.

    No Stress!! Just have fun making/buying your gifts and your recipient will be happy with it.

    I got almost everything I wanted to send before I even knew who my person was. All I need is for it to stop raining and I will make my way to the post office (hopefully early next week).
    Still can't believe I met Mike Mccready at the Guggenheim and got a pic with him!!!!!
